Pluses, Minuses, Interesting/Implications (PMI) Chart

Instructions:
1. Use the Pluses, Minuses and Interesting/Implications (PMI) Chart to evaluate the issue “Unlimited and Advanced
Artificial Intelligence Must Be Developed by Humans.”
2. In the Pluses column, enter all the positive elements, in the Minuses column enter all the negative elements, and in
the third column, enter the elements that cannot be classified precisely as positive or negative (Interesting) or
potential outcomes (Implications).
3. Assign a numerical value to each on a scale of 1 to 5 (1+lowest, 5=highest). In the Pluses column, scores will
be marked with a “+” sign and scores in the Minus column with a “-“ sign.
4. Then, review the items in the I column to see if any item should be marked as a positive or negative
value using the same scale. An item seems to not have a potential effect on the decision, it must be marked as
having zero value.
5. Total the items in each column, then add together the three (3) subtotals. A negative total indicates that
the idea should be abandoned. A positive total indicates that the decision is a good one.

Developed by Humans":

Pluses Minuses Interesting/Implications

+ Advanced AI can enhance efficiency and
productivity in various fields. - Risk of AI
surpassing human intelligence and
becoming uncontrollable. I Ethical
considerations regarding the role and
responsibility of humans in developing AI.
+ AI can assist in solving complex
problems and advancing scientific
research. - Potential job displacement and
economic inequality due to automation. I
Potential impact on privacy and data
security with advanced AI capabilities.
+ AI can improve healthcare outcomes and
contribute to medical advancements. -
Lack of transparency and accountability in
AI decision-making processes. I Potential
for AI to augment human capabilities and
enhance human-machine collaboration.
+ AI can enhance safety and security
measures in various domains. - Potential
for AI to be weaponized or used for
malicious purposes. I Socioeconomic
implications of AI development and
deployment.
+ AI can contribute to addressing global
challenges such as climate change and
resource management. - Potential biases
and discrimination embedded in AI
algorithms. I Implications for the future of
work and the need for re-skilling and
education.

Assigning numerical values on a scale of 1

to 5:

Pluses Minuses Interesting/Implications

+4 -4 I3
+5 -3 I4
+4 -3 I3
+4 -4 I3
+5 -3 I4

Totaling the items in each column:

Pluses: 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 22
Minuses: -4 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 3 = -17
Interesting/Implications: 3 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 4
= 17

Adding the three subtotals:

Pluses (22) + Minuses (-17) +

Interesting/Implications (17) = 22 - 17 +
17 = 22

Based on the PMI analysis, the total score

of 22 indicates that the idea of developing
unlimited and advanced artificial
intelligence by humans has more positive
aspects and interesting implications than
negative aspects. However, it is important
to consider the ethical considerations,
potential job displacement, biases, and
other implications associated with AI
development to ensure responsible and
beneficial outcomes.
